After more than 50 years of community conversation, we are excited to officially open the new Waaban Crossing on Dec. 13! Do you want to be the first to walk, ride or drive across the new Waaban Crossing? To mark this historic event, we are partnering with United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington to offer the chance for three community members to be the first to travel across the new bridge. All proceeds from the online auction will go toward United Way’s community programming. Visit 32Auctions.com/WaabanCrossing to place a bid. The auction closes Wednesday, Dec. 7. What can you expect on Dec. 13? - Morning and early afternoon: The bridge and roadway remain closed to the public.- 2:00 p.m.: Project staff and dignitaries gather on the east shore of the bridge at Gore Road for the official ribbon cutting.- 2:45 p.m.: United Way KFL&A auction winners take their first walk, ride or drive across the bridge.- Early evening: Barricades are lifted once the United Way auction winners have completed their trip and the bridge will be open to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. As a reminder, the public is not permitted on any part of the bridge until the official opening. Thank you for your understanding as we finish up! Photo: Mike Hill ... See MoreSee Less
